Streams" and "landscape" do not seem to be compatible themes in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA). The metropolitan refers us to the urban, to the built, to an artificial nature created to meet the needs of the city, just as thinking about Buenos Aires and its river landscape inevitably transports us to the Río de La Plata and all its symbolism.

However, crossing this great conglomerate persists a network of rivers and streams with their own history and unique characteristics that urbanization has progressively silenced in its constant growth, water that transits under our feet, water that we see but do not see.

The idea of "landscape" has recently been installed in academic discussion, and has been revised from different disciplines, to the point of occupying a relevant place within the planning, legislation and territorial project. In addition, the demand for the right to landscape has permeated society intensely.

The objective of this book is to rescue this river network from the idea of landscape, providing tools to value and intervene in the basins of the AMBA, an everyday and degraded landscape, apparently ordinary, but with great potential to improve the daily life of the inhabitants of the metropolis.
